Steve Quillen, Ohio County Elections Chief, Quits Citing Stress

[mfcorey1]

DAYTON, Ohio -- An Ohio county's director of elections has resigned because he says work on the coming presidential election was too stressful.

The Dayton Daily News reports that Miami County elections director Steve Quillen cited "the stress of the upcoming presidential election" in his decision.

The county election board accepted Quillen's resignation Friday, just weeks before the election. He is a Republican so the county Republican Party in the key presidential battleground state will recommend his successor.

The county had experienced delays in getting absentee ballots to voters, but the board chairman says that played no part in Quillen's departure.

1. It's only stressful if you're trying to cheat

I wonder if he was forced out for a big time insider thief!
Anyone see Ken Blackwell

2. I wonder if anybody was pressuring him to do something untoward.

Something regarding challenging voters, or anything like that.

Just speculation but it is a strange moment to resign right before the election.

3. That would be something'more' untoward

but don't rule out that orders came from high to put a real ReTHUG scumbag in charge.
